Are you a Steam user with a massive library? Does your SSD not exactly match the size of that library, causing you to install and delete games on a regular basis?

I’m about to tell you something that will change your gaming life: you can batch install and uninstall Steam games! Seriously. I’ve been using Steam since it first launched, and I never knew this.

Getting rid of or installing games as a group is easy. All you need to do is Ctrl-click on each game you want to remove while in detail or list view. When you’ve selected all the games you want, just right click one of them and choose Install to add them, or Delete Local Content to remove them from your computer.

It really is that simple!
